<p>White sugar is an important commodity Indonesia. Sugar’s price fluctuates due to its</p><p>availability. The availability is depend on the season of sugar crop. Government has to control</p><p>its price to fullfill national price. However, previous experience shows that scarcity of product</p><p>availability and fluctuated of price due to unbalanced supply and demand quantity. This paper</p><p>proposed a model to control price of white sugar for case of one commodity and multi region.</p><p>One time horizon is divided into four periods: (i) beginning of harvesting period, (ii) end of</p><p>harvesting period, (iii) beginning of planting period, and (iv) end of planting period. There are</p><p>two type of region considered (i) deficit region and (ii) surplus region. A price band is</p><p>determined to define maximum and minimum price of white sugar. The government has two</p><p>policy options to control the price of white sugar (i) price support program, and (ii) price</p><p>stabilization program. This problem is modeled as mathematical programming problem with</p><p>objective function is to maximize total benefit of producer, consumer, and government.</p><p>Numerical example is provided to illustrate model mechanism for price of white sugar in both</p>region.
